The meta game was how I found most of the games I played during the jam, and there's a good chance I'll still be filling it out when the jam ends. Thanks for making it!

And so Pangbot wept, for there were no more cogs to achieve. This was a fantastic concept and I'd love to see this sort of thing being more common in future jams. For the game itself, it seemed to add a lot of RAM usage as the number of cogs grew (even when there weren't any on the field), which was a shame, but all it meant was I had to close and re-open it a lot as I was getting the last few cogs. Some ways of sorting/filtering the list (by earned/unearned, sorted by time of achievement...) would have been nice but overall I loved the idea and I'm so glad I got to rate so many great games because of it! :D
Metagame cog 22/126 on completion, 126/126 now.
This is amazingly clever and a great way to celebrate the comunity! Bravo!!
Incredibly cool concept! wish i coulda had to the time to participate but regardless this is probably one of the most unique things ive seen in a game jam!
This is very serious. Meta-game is meta. Thanks for including me :D
Oh my god if only I knew someone was doing this before jam... Very nice surprise tho. This kinds of things brings the community together. Thats awesome!
Thank you for letting me be a part of this! What I love about the metagame is that it motivated me to try harder and keep playing games for longer where I would have otherwise given up cause they were quite challenging. In the end this motivation even spread to games that were not part of the metagame. I just had to keep on going. Persistance stat increased, yay!
this is such a sick entry! a homage and celebration of games made for the jam is such a sweet sentiment! i wish i saw the post earlier, but this is such a kind gesture and allows for a lot games to be spotlighted through here! thank you so much for making this!
Absolutely amazing and cool, really wish I could add my game to it. I didn't see the post.
HOW?????? I thought we made a cool game but this is next level genius
This is such a cool idea! I wish that I found out about it earlier or had the chance to put my own game into it. Amazing!
This concept is SO good, I genuinely wish I had participated in it, but sadly I didn't, next game jam this NEEDS to be done again!
This is absolutely brilliant. Encouraging everyone to play more jam entries by gamifying your own game.
I think this is a stellar example of why the game jam community is so great.
Genuinely genius, I’m am so happy to have participated and have my own cog!
I genuinely think this was such a good idea of a game! Thanks for initiating it!
It's also the one game I keep going back to, gotta get them gears!
Man, I sure am glad to be a part of this.
And the sounds are satisfying too, I love hearing that notification whenever I get a new gear.
